Public opinion needs still to be ruain- - i tained at the high and strict standard CVMULdTI VE l.YFL UESCE The influence of the country press is not confined to its own county or readers, for if it be located in a community posM-s-ing natural advantages which are being developed as are those ol Oregon City, its influence is as widespread as its exchange list and their numerous readers. This is especially true if the rural pajier is a wide awake newsy journal from which its ex changes, and escially the city paers, can clip interesting news items. The good ac-! complished by the Enterprise is not con-1 lined to Clackamas county; but to give our j readers some idea of the way its efforts to j buiid up this community are made more i than doubly valuable we will illustrate: Under the title of "The Genius ol the Falls," the Astoria Budget recently made an item taken from the Enterprise the text for the following article which w ent to all of its numerous readers. It said: " For ages the Falls of the Willamette at Oregon City have been swinging their va pory censer in mystic worship of an un known God. The utilitarian purposes of their existence were little understood. The rude frontiersman and the painted Indian recognized the basaltic wall over which the water thunders as a special providence in aid of a salmon fishery. More enlightened men saw a vast volume ol water iower that would some day turn the wheels of hum- j ining factories in the shadows of the frown ing bluffs. But electricity in its more mod ern uses was then an unknown ijtiantity and no one dreamed that a day would come when, by the aid ot the switt and potent fire, the falls at Oregon City would be light ing cities, driving cars and impelling a thousand forms of machinery miles and miles away ! " But it is an ordinary and accepted fact. Only the other day P. F. Morey, president of the Portland General Electric company, accompanied by W. C. Cheney, electrician ol the company, and Geo. C. Urownell, its attorney, left for the East to close contracts for the electrical and mechanical plant re quired fur the immense power station to be built on the west side of the river at Oregon City, for supplying electricity for lighting and power purposes in Portland. The com pany will exeud on this station about $1, 51X1,000, and it will be the most extensive af fair of the kind in the United States. " it is chronicled as the simplest of events and yet it has a significance beyond words to express. It means the opening of a new world, as strange and inscrutable in its way as the supreme mysteries of life and death. The words ' natural' and 'supernal' have ceased to have a distinct significance in this flying, Haining age, and wonderment is al most lost in helpless stupor as we behold the prodigies of the ojiening ages.'' This is but one case. Here is another il lustration taken from the Newburg Graphic of the same week: " Electricity will soon be carrying passen gers between Portland and Oregon City, An electric line ia being built to be completed by Christmas. There is no reason why the 1 l!lMifilii Willamette iiy not 1h utilised to p'ner.-ite power lor vhvtrio lines all tliromrh the lower valley, ami Mimll will U ilone not many years henot" Vhese are oo,l worvls, kindly siniken, ami reach another laiw set of readers.

It it not abate one jot It is bet ter to have a community honorable and virtuous and 'demand becoming decency and rectitude from its members than to aid criminals by winking at their misdoings. The Sew York Press takes an encouraging view of the political situation and concludes I an exhaustive article on the party's future w ith this conclusion : " Why should a single conscientious re- publican go seeking after new political atlil ! iatiens? The swing of the pendulum is ab I solutely certain to reinstate the party in lower. It is by no means as near to death as was the democracy in lWB and succeed ing years. Just as soon as the scales fall from the people's eyes, and they rind that the democratic party cannot (lertorm mira cles, then will they return to true standards and to the party whose policy has stood the test of political exierience." The mantle of snow over everything makes nature very beautiful to look out upon and reminds one in many resjieets of Christmas in the East where snow, sleighing and jingling bells are an important ad- I junct to the season a festivities.
